2020 LinkedIn Census for US Federal Civilian, DOD and Uniformed Services


Over the past decade, LinkedIn has become an integral part of the Government Contracting (GovCon) ecosystem. Federal civilian employees, DOD, military and the IC are here in large numbers.

If you are not using LinkedIn for sales, marketing, BD, branding and positioning, and growing your own GovCon network, we should talk. Reserve time on my calendar here:  
https://calendly.com/markamtower

These are the results of my January 2020 Federal Census for federal membership on LinkedIn: 2,150,912 civilian and DOD (including uniformed services) members on LinkedIn. This is a decrease of about 40,000 since April, 2019.

Note: the counts for each agency and operating division change frequently. This is simply a snapshot from early 2020.

I have included direct links to cabinet departments and a few other major activities.

A couple of caveats: 

1) I may have overlooked some sub-agency level activities, often because I could not find them (if you find something I missed, please let me know and I will add them in); 

2) I have included three non-executive branch activities (USPS, LOC and GAO). The Courts are not included;

3) There will be some contractors in these counts; 

4) Sorry about the alignment. This is cut and paste from Word;

5) See Total Federal Employment estimates at the bottom of this post.

My unscientific study of job functions indicates 15%+ of the Feds and DOD employees on LinkedIn have an IT-related job title.

Send me an email if you'd like to discuss this or my LinkedIn training programs

1.   The miscellaneous "US government" listing (and variations) has been used by government employees for well over 10 years.  It was used prior to 2010 because there was no Federal endorsement or policy for using social media, so employees did not want to name their respective agencies. It is also used by those in the IC to mask their agencies.
